Hi All

I was asked the following questiona in interview as

1. How to look into the data that is stored in segments

some thing like using SPUFI or FILE-AID for DB2 we can see the data in the tables, how to see the IMS database data

2. if u are using ims with cics, what tables u need

something like for DB2 we go for RCT table, for IMS what we need

Thanks

You can use utility FIMS - File Manager - IMS.

Hope this help. Regards.

Hi all,
There is a tool called File-Aid IMS. where you have to give the Data and Index sets of IMS and Xreference copybook. Then you can view the contents of IMS database in a formatter way.

You can tranverse thru hierarchies by giveing F4 key. Dont ask how to transaverse upwards as you cant in IMS because it is a hirerarchial database managemant system.
